Ernest Thompson Seton was a naturalist, artist, writer, and lecturer and also one of the key founders of the Boy Scouts of America, authoring their handbook. "By 1910, Seton was one of the country's leading nature writers and illustrators...The next fifteen years were chiefly devoted to producing the massive Lives of Game Animals, a four-volume work published between 1925 and 1929, which won him the coveted John Burroughs (1926) and Daniel Giraud Elliott (1928) medals. By ably blending his field experiences with the writings of zoologists and other observers, Seton had created a work that was eminently readable, yet reflected the latest scientific thinking. His landmark insights into animal psychology and emphasis on life histories gave the work its standing as a classic." (American Dictionary of National Biography). HBS 68014. $4,000.

London: Letts and Son, 1868. Illius., with folding map at end. 262, 12, ads pp. 8vo. Original green cloth. With inscription for Mapping Prize in 1869. Illius., with folding map at end. 262, 12, ads pp. 8vo. "In 1867, Royal Navy lieutenant E. D. Young trekked to Africa to find the great missionary-explorer David Livingstone who was reported to be lost while searching for the origins of the Nile. Henry Faulkner joined the expedition primarily to hunt. His efforts collecting elephant, buffalo and hippo in present day Malawi and around Lake Nyasa are duly captured in this rather scarce narrative" (Czech) Lieutenant Young, who had been with Lvingstone on his second expedition to Lake Malawi in 1863, volunteered to lead an expedition sponsored by the society to ascertain the truth of the allegation.

Description
8vo leather, rebacked with original boards. 410 pp. Pages 408 & 409 read 108 and 109 instead of correct numbers. Engraved frontispiece. Rebacking crude, but functional. Library stamp on title page, but not that visible. Same stamp on first page of preface. Inscription by early owner. Nice copy. First published in 1675 (this copy is a 5th edition) was reprinted several times in the 17th and 18th centuries. John Wilkins (1614-1672) was a clergyman and scholar, who studied astronomy, mathematics and natural philosophy. As a chaplain in London, he promoted weekly meetings with other intellectuals to discuss progress in the development of natural philosophy, and other branches of learning, These meetings would later evolve into the Royal Society, which Wilkins served as its first secretary. In matters of religion, Wilkins was known for his tolerance of dissenters. In this work he presents many arguments about the existence of God that would become familiar in the 18th century, including “admirable Contrivance of Natural things.”
